OE sent emails saved in 'wrong' place

Q:OE sent emails saved in 'wrong' place

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with Windows XP Pro. I have just changed my email host to lunarpages.com, and configured a new (IMAP) account in my email client Outlook Express per lunarpages instructions. I am able to send and receive emails, but the sent mails are being saved in the ‘Sent Items’ folder in Local Folders rather than in the IMAP account. Anybody know how to make them appear in a ‘sent items’ folder in the IMAP account? I’d ask tech support at lunarpages, but they’re gone until Tuesday. Thanks,Ken

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

A while back... LONG while back, been putting off this issue, saved automatic backup in wrong place

woops! Looks like I need to fix that. Any tips so I don't delete the wrong thing?

here's the picture.

A:saved automatic backup in the wrong place... D-Data Drive :(

Looks like disk where you have saved your backups is doesn't have enough free disk space well you can either delete some files on the disk to gain more disk space or change the backup settings to start new backup on another disk i don't remember very well but if you move backups to new disk and change the currently backup location to new backup disk new backups should use the moved backups in new backup location.

I'm planning of upgrading my x32 Windows 7 Ultimate to x64 Windows 7 Ultimate, I copied all of my important files and drivers needed after reinstallation to my Local Disk D. After reinstallation, would my files inside the hard drive be saved or not? Well few months ago, I upgraded my Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate and few files from my Local Disk D were saved. Just thinking if it would be saved again after this.

A:Will my files be saved if I place it inside a hard drive?

How did you do a Upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows7 Ultimate?? I could or might not be understanding you correctly.

Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade

Anything you saved on Drive D if done properly will still be there and you should be able to retrieve them when need be.

If you have done anything to Drive D to format or the such you got problems.

At this point I would recommend doing another backup of all data you want to save to a external hard drive. Better safe than sorry.

I have MULTIPLE emails saved during the past year. They are important and may or may not need to be accessed. One of my parents passed away and there are important communications pertaining to her illness and the subsequent family dynamics. It would require reams of paper to print them all and save them in a file cabinet. They do take up a considerable amount of space in the "stored on my computer" designation.I have several folders with different designations and now would now like to know if there is a means of compressing them within the folders.In time, i imagine they will be able to be deleted but, for now, it is important to retain them.

Thank you so much to anyone with some assistance.

A:Saved Emails

Highlight all the folders you would like to compress. Then right click one of the folders and chose Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder. This will give you one compressed folder. If you would like each folder to be individually compressed then instead of highlighting all of them just right click each one and perform the steps to compress them one by one.Now you will still have the original folders on your computer taking up space. If you are sure that you have zipped all the folders you can now delete the originals to free up space. If you need to unzip the folders at a later date, right click the compressed (zipped) folder and select Extract All... then follow the prompts. Hope this helps edit - One other thing, if the emails are important, then by all means back them up to a cd or floppy also just to be on the safe side

When I had windows 95, I somehow found a file that showed all the emails that I had sent, but not received. I was wondering if XP has a file like that? I found the file by accident in 95 but that was years ago. Have tried but to no avail in XP. Even have all files showing, including the system files that you are not supposed to show.

Hi, I have searched on TGS to save doubling up on questions but couldn't find what I was looking for.

At present I use Wnds XP Pro SP3 and use OE6. I have loads of emails saved to an external drive. Whenever I wish to open them, I double click and it opens in OE. Mine is the SMTP and POP3 server. I use a dial-up modem.

I am thinking of buying a new laptop with Windows 8. Will I be able to open these old emails and perhaps forward them on to others, please?

but I need some help and I am sure you have all heard it.
The thing is
I can't log into yahoo mail but can go into everything else
can't go to gmail, bravenet.com or angelfire.com where my site is hosted. I worked on the site for 4 to 6 hours and now I can't check or do anything.

Hi all...I was goofing off on the internet today...went to my bookmarks and clicked on youtube....and it would not load! the loading bar was just 'going real fast' and never completly loading- just going real fast. Fearing it was some sort of virus or crash on thier behalf I closed it and came here to ask if any thing like this has happened before. you tell me please? I am also told by this site that I can recieve emails and comments through email so I will hope your answer come thru my email thanks! Moondiver

Hi,

Welcome to TSF!!

If you think that you have a virus, follow these instructions and the folk the that forum will help you out.

i guess i'm newer than i thought i was......a friend gave me a new monitor that is larger than my old one....so i have a lot of black screen ......wish i could fix this...if someone could help or redirect me, i would appreciate it....thank you

A:may be in the wrong place

The monitor you have now, as the old monitor you had, should have some buttons or knobs on the front of it. These are used to resize the image, adjust it's position etc. Try them out looking for the obvious such as a knob with an image that looks like it will stretch it etc. Also, you might want to adjust your settings to a different resolution. For example: 800X600, 1024X768 etc. To do that, just right click on an empty space on your desktop, select PROPERTIES, then left click on SETTINGS, then move the slider under SCREEN AREA. Hope this helps, T.

Old HD is still readable (not bootbale anymore due to a fault in Windows XP I suppose)I can't start Outlook on the old HD neither.

I want to add all my emaildresses and emails that are on that old HD - Outlook section into my new Outlook.

Where can I find them and what is the best way to do this?

A:Place on HD of emails in XP-Outlook 2000

Try searching your old hard drive for a .pst file. Usually it is called Outlook.pst. Typically is it also the larger file with the more recent date.

Copy this to your new hard drive and configured Outlook to use that file.

My preference is to configure Outlook with the "Corporate Configuration". This allows you to put the data file where you like. Makes these types of situations a lot easier. Also for people that have some sort of central server, you can put the file on there so it can be backed up.

More information on how to do this can be found at:http://www.onecomputerguy.com/app_info/outlook98.htm

Hi, Im using OE 6 and the last two days my sent mail is not saving in my sent items.I have gone to Tools-options-send and made sure that it is ticked that i want them saved but it seems to make no difference! Anyone got an idea????Thanks Raz

I use Outlook 2013. A few days ago I moved hosting providers and saved all my emails in a PST file. I then set up my email address with the information provided by the new hosting company and imported all my emails back into the account. It worked beautiful as I have many sub-files. This morning, I went into outlook to check my emails and found that all the saved emails have disappeared and when I tried to import them again I got the following message

The items in the `inbox' folder cannot be imported or exported. The folder `inbox' cannot contain subfolders. This is most likely a limitation of your IMAP Server. In order to create a folder that can contain a subfolders, append `/' to its name as you create it.

I've called the new hosting company and their tech support isn't able to assist me.

Help Please. I have recently replaced WIN98SE with WINXP. Before doing so I saved all my Outlook Express email folders (Inbox, Sent mail, etc.), by burning them to disk using Nero. However, now that I have installed WINXP I am unable to either view the individual emails on the disk or to restore the folders to Outlook Express. As some of these folders contain important emails from overseas friends, I want to restore them. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

if the mods would kindly move this post into the correct forum, as i'm unable to post there myself!!

up until today my pc has been working fine, but i have had a few virii detected by AVG that it said it had healed. now i cant browse any web pages to do with virii or anything remotely linked to it as my web browser closes down totally, this is if i use IE, firefox or opera, for instance i cant open the hijack this log forum as my window just shuts down!!

if i try open AVG it gets as far as the grisoft opening page then shuts down before i can do anything, same with system restore, if i click that it tells me it has been switched off through group policy and to contact administrator, for which i have administrator rights on this pc.

i can open every window from control panel, except administrative tools, if i try it just shuts the window down totally, this even happens if i boot up into safe mode, nothing that i know of will help, but then i'm not a pc whizz-kid!!

please help me, i have posted a hijack this log, hopefully someone can stop me throwing my pc out the window in frustration!!

I got broadband last week and we're only allowed 2GB monthly usage limit (hehe, well it is cheap). I was wondering if streaming videos counts towards this, like does it take up disk space? And is there any chance of viruses? Thanks, pretty random, but I'd like to know.

A:ok this is probably the wrong place, but...youtube

Hi...

Yes that will count towards your 2GB monthly allowance...everything you get from the internet will count (emails, webpages, videos, music etc).

It does take up disk space but once you clear your temporary internet files, that will solve the problem.

As with the risks of internet use, there is a chance of picking up spyware/viruses by downloading content....but the chances are far less with reputable sites.

I'll try to explain the best I can... my father (on his computer), was playing around with his taskbar putting it on the sides to see if he'd like there, I guess...

Now he's got repeats of his icons from the desktop sitting on his taskbar, fullsize. We tried to delete them, but if we did, they would also delete the twin that's on the desktop. I found this too be so weird, his taskbar is now about an inch and a quarter high, and we could not reduce it.

A friend has just created a new subdomain of his existing site. If I go to http://www.newsubdomain.existingsite.com, I see the host's generic "new site will be available soon" message. BUT if I go to http://newsubdomain.existingsite.com (that is, the same address, but without the leading "www."), I wind up on the site for some perfectly innocent-looking automotive specialty parts distribution company. (It looks like they mostly sell to retailers, not the public, so it makes no sense at all for them to be complicit in this apparent hijacking, although someone could have put something malicious on their site, I guess.)My computer is a laptop running WinXP Pro. AVG, spybot and Ad-aware scans find nothing amiss. The machine has no other symptoms of any kind of infection, afaict.The problem shows up regardless of whether I use Firefox or IE, but another machine on my home-network does NOT have this problem, so I know it's not a case of my ISP's DNS cache having been poisoned. I did run ipconfig /flushdns from a command prompt; that didn't fix it.Could this just be some simple corrupted record somewhere, or must we conclude a malware infection?TIA!!!

Since you have an older system you would need to upgrade nearly everything if you are looking to get a more modern system. Selling you exisitng system and buying/building a new one would be the smart move.

I have WINDOWS XP, and can't figure out what other topic this question might belong in...

I don't know when or how it happened, but two file folders MY SHARED DOCUMENTS and CARRIE'S DOCUMENTS are now in MY COMPUTER.

MY COMPUTER, where it shows the drives. I am pretty sure it never had yellow folders in it before.

I think they should be in C DRIVE? There is a MY DOCUMENTS in C Drive, but it has nothing in it. I'm the only one who uses this computer, but apparenty everything saved goes into CARRIE'S DOCUMENTS. SHARED DOCUMENTS has various folders in it that I suppose would be shared by all, if others used the computer, too.

I've tried dragging them there (or anywhere) but only shortcuts appear in the new area. The folders still say in MY COMPUTER. They won't copy and paste.

When I open something, like in WORD, etc. I can still find them, just they are under MY COMPUTER.

So, they still work, it just seems strange, like they shouldn't be in MY COMPUTER. Unless I have totally missed this for the past year, I don't remember ever seeing them in there before. I take pictures off my memory card with a removable drive, which shows up as F drive, so I look in MY COMPUTER to click on this, all the time.

What happened and how can I fix it? Actually, since it seems to work this way, the only reason to fix it seems to be it looks odd this way.

Okay, I've checked everything I know how to, but cannot figure this out- I'm only putting this here because what I'm hearing comes from the sub of my Logitech z-5500d setup.

Often, when I plug in a USB cable, or touch anything metal to my case, I hear a "click" out of the woofer. I also hear it when I switch speeds on my ceiling fan.
Or when the washing machine switches from wash to spin. (The fan only does it switching from "hi" to "medium," not from med to slow.

Multimeter shows no faults anywhere on/in the case. Any electricians out there?

A:What the ??? Short? Wrong place?

I had a subwoofer on my home stereo once that would pick up CB radio jibberish from time to time. When the AC would kick on in the house in the summer I would hear a pop from the sub, etc. etc......turns out the AC plug in the wall was not grounded. At least that is what fixed my problem...

Could anyone tell me the best utility for fixing the registry/broken links/shortcuts etc in XP Home. My computer has become quite slow and I think I may have a lot of rubbish cluttering up the system.I do tend to trial a lot of progs and then uninstall them.

A:This question may be in the wrong place

Personally I would not 'fix' anything in the Registry. Yes there may be a few broken links but they will be taking up minimal space and will probably not cause your system to slow down that you would notice.. Better to defrag your hard disc and run something like Cleanup! to clear out your temp files etc.

[COLOR=blue] I posted this in the wrong place earlier, am sooo sorry, I didnt realize there was a forum just for this..I apologize. Any help would be most appreciated! TamCOLOR=blue] Hi..I was wondering if anyone can help me...my son was on my system the other night and since I have been having nothing but pop-up problems and actually problems running certain programs. I tried to do a restore that didnt help, I even tried to boot from my original XP Cd and start all over, but found that I had an SP2 error, which in going to uninstall that, I got another area pertaining to languages etc... I ran hijack this and here is my report, if anyone knows of anything I can do, I would greatly greatly appreciate it, as these pop-ups are driving me nuts, because just popping up they seem to even download themselves.

Please run two online virus scans:http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspxhttp://housecall.antivirus.com/Then let us know if its working better and what the scans found.

In outlook 2007 whenever I create a new message, copy text in or insert a signature, when I save the message or send it the font changes from what I chose (i.e., arial 10pt) to Times New Roman 12pt.

If I save the email, edit all the text to the font i want, and then send it, the font changes again.

Additionally, if I use outlook format to change the style the font still changes when I save or send the email.

Further with this, when editing all text looks fine. If I click save, leave message open and look at the copy in draft in the reading pane, the font shows as changed but in the email I am editing, the font is as I chose. I have clicked save again and multiple times but the font in the draft is a different font then how I edited the email.

I send emails with pictures and when i save those emails to my documents the pictures are not there only a thin outline with a red x in the corner. If i click on the red x>show picture it doesn`t open the picture. If i click on the go to my pictures it opens where the pictures are. Any solutions? My computer is Windows XP Home edition sp2.

A:Saved emails don`t show pictures

it's all down to paths m8, your pics aren't saved in the 'saved e-mails' ok & there's no need to save em in there anyway if you let the mail program keep your sent e-mails in the 'sent' folder. The red X is there to say "the image is missing" as the path to the pic is wrong ok.

I would like to know how to make my outlook save a email to my pc as a email file instead of a notepad file. I know I can choose how I want to save it in the drop down list, I want it to save as a email file without having to choose every time, that gets annoying when I have a lot of files to save at one time.

A:How to specify how emails are saved in Outlook 2003

Have you tried just dragging the message from your inbox to (for example) your desktop?

I am changing ISPs and in the past this meant recreating my address book and losing any filed emails. Is there an easier way to save bulk emails from my lSP account file to my HDD. I have many reciepts and software lic. numbers that I care not to lose. Any help? Thanks guys in advance! I currently use Charter cable as an ISP, and I can copy and print to file each email but I've had this storage for a few years and the number of files is huge! This file by file process will take weeks. Thanks again!

Hi,
To put if breifly I was wiping the cmos after some trouble I'd had with my PC, I got distracted and when I went back I powered up the computer with the cmos jumper still in the wipe position. It won't boot to windows and seems pretty messed up, anybody know if how I could get around this?? I'm I right in thinking I could flash the bios, I haven't personally done that before so if somebody could speak me through what to do I'd be most appreciative...

Thanks in advance,
CrazyCris

I'm trying to use robocopy for mirroring my most important files between two computers. Except for one issue, it works as expected.

I'm trying to copy the complete "Documents" directory. Previously, this was called "My documents" and contained for example "My pictures". Now it doesn't, and I like that, but robocopy don't. Somehow it still searches for these directories, and of course can't find them. Seems robocopy needs a fix, or am I missing out on something here?

A:Robocopy looking for my directories in the wrong place

When I use robocopy, I use it in a text based batch file. So, as long as your paths are correct in the batch file it should go exactly where you tell it to. I haven't noticed any issues doing it this way with Windows 7.

Normally the Quick Launch is located right besides the Start button, but the one on my w7x64 is away from it and the space between the Start button and the Quick Launch area appears to be the task bar where icon(s) is placed whenever program(s) is launched. How can this be corrected? The os is W7 Ultimate x64 SP1.

I Just updated my bios from R1-B4 to R1-C0 and i havnt seen any differnce, bios options are the same, pc still has buggy boots before getting to Operating system select,so what would a bios update do exsacly?

A:BIOS Updated But.... (Sorry If In Wrong Place)

I can't say without seeing the release notes on the bios update, Generally they will only fix one problem at a time. Often it's compatibility for hardware that you may not even have. Meaning you will be unaffected by the update at all.

I recently bought all the parts to build my very own gaming pc, which one of them is the Antec Kühler h2o k240.

I build it myself and I got to the BIOS but now i see when i start my pc only 1 of my cooler fans doesn?t rotate.

I got my fans connected to cpu_fan and AIO_pump. But I don?t think the last one is correct. Should I put the AIO_pump to cpu_OPT or am i missing the point somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

A:Cooler 4 pins at the wrong place?

I looked at the manual and it is just about useless. With dual fans, there should be a spliter for the fan pw and that goes on the cpu fan header. Both fans pw from the single header. From the manual, it shows the pump being connected to a sata type pw connector. This is pretty strange; all of the AIO type coolers I have seen have pump pw going to a AIO header on the motherboard. It is hard for me to understand how pump RPM is going to be monitored by using a sata pw connector......Again the manual is useless.

FWIW I recommend coolermaster water cooling IF you really want water cooling.

My computer wasn't messed up when i first starting using it, but one day I turned on guest and i just started getting used to it. so i always used my guest file and all but a big problem happened some how. instead of my main account (Ben94), Guest became administrator. Now i cant do any features including:
* make new account(when i type something like TEST, it says: you cannot use .,{[}]!?,etc in a account name)
*cant change account types( because i cant make a new account)
* cant give passwords to accounts
* guest cannot check internet connections but ben94 can, but ben94 cant do anything about connections because its a standard account

they are a few things to add to that list but i dont want to go off topic. if there's anyway to fix this, please tell me.

On the remote possiblity, do you have a backup from before the problem existed?

I've installed a windows to go on my USB driver. It works well, but only doesn't work on my own home computer.The symptom is that it will boot from my hard drive(I've already set the BIOS to boot from USB drive).I've checked the BCD file in my USB drive, it's normal when booting from other computers. But on my home computer, it will be replaced by another file, which contents are exactly same as BCD file on my hard drive. I don't know why.So it there anyone who knows about the boot process of windows to go? And how could i solve this problem?
